Stay Rad Wine Blog TV Episode 132: In a Cab Mood
May 7, 2014Stay Rad Wine Blog TV Episode 131: Blanc to the Future
April 13, 2014In this episode, Jeff tries a three vintage vertical of Sauvignon Blanc samples from Cornerstone Cellars…
Wine Tasted:
Cornerstone Cellars 2011, 2010, and 2009 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Food Pairing:
King Crab Mac and Cheese. The acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc cut through the fattiness of the crab and the cheese. The salinity of the wine also highlighted the seafood. This food pairing does a great job of showcasing the richness of the Cornerstone Sauvignon Blanc.
Next Day Bonus Food Pairings:
Shrimp Ceviche. This spicy and rich ceviche brought out some of the ripe fruit flavors in the wine.
Super Burrito Al Pastor. The savory burrito highlighted the herbaceous notes in the Sauvignon Blanc. I would show you a picture of the burrito unwrapped, but that would make for a messy meal.
Stay Rad,

Stay Rad Wine Blog TV Episode 128: Great Balls of Ice!
February 18, 2014Jeff recently got a sample of some Ice Ball Makers from Arctic Chill, so he decided to throw an Ice Ball into his Barrel Aged Negroni. In this episode, Jeff also compares the Ice Ball against standard ice cubes. Enjoy…
Ice Cubes vs the Arctic Chill Ice Ball:
Step 1: Get yourself two glasses. Put ice cubes in one of ’em, and an ice ball in the other. Add two ounces of water to each glass.
Step 2: At 10-minute intervals, strain the water from each glass into a measuring cup, and compare the water levels. Return the water to each glass, and repeat the process of measuring 10 minutes later.
Do this until you don’t want to do it anymore.
Serving the Barrel Aged Negroni with the Arctic Chill Ice Ball:
Get yourself an old fashioned cocktail glass, 3 ounces of Barrel Aged Negroni, a tangerine (or any orange colored citrus fruit, and an ice ball.
Cut the tangerine into very thin slices, and overlap them around the perimeter of the glass. Add the ice ball to the glass, allowing it to hold the tangerine slices against the face of the glass. Pour in your 3 ounces of Barrel Aged Negroni.
Enjoy!
Stay Rad,
Jeff
